I have stayed in many hostels before but none as dirty as this one. The rooms are cleanish, floors need a good Hoover. The ladies bathroom on the 2nd floor are filthy. I had to wear flip flops on the shower cause it felt slimey. The sink and toilet haven't been cleaned in at,east 3 days as there is hair... More

If you're looking for a quiet hostel and away from the screaming people at night, embassy is a great place to stay. Unlike base central, embassy doesn't have a bar attached to it so you can be sure it'll be quiet. The location is literally 10 minutes ( walking distance) from Central station. The staff there are friendly, and with... More

Well I was here for 2 nights but ended up staying 8. I wanted to leave but had other commits in Brisbane so had to stay. Overall it was great. I stayed in a 4 dorm and ever though abit more expensive it was worth it. For 2 nights it was only me in the room so was perfect. The... More

We stayed a few nights last March in a 4-bed dormitory. Location is awesome! Right in Brisbane city centre. Embassy Base is a very secure place with key card system to access the backpacker entrance door, each floor and each room (and female bathroom for girls). You can choose to take a shower in the common bathrooms or in large... More

Hi Guys!, Thanks for taking the time to review our hostel. I am really pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us. As far as the cleaning of the kitchen goes, it's a little difficult to find a time to clean when no one is in there, so we try and get it out of the way as... More

The best part of this hostel is the location, it is really central, easy to get to and the area feels very safe. Everything else is pretty standard for the price and for being a Base Backpackers. The dorms are a bit dirty but not too noisy. The bathrooms need a clean but they are a decent size. The kitchen... More

This hostel was alright - we weren't expecting too much. It's all a bit dark and dingy but the dorm room wasn't too bad. The lockers were under the bunk beds and only 2 out of the 4 in the room worked. The kitchen is pretty good, but a little bit smelly and we strugged to find plates and cutlery.... More

We paid $80 for a double room through hotels.com, their actual website was quoting a much higher price! We got upgraded to a en suite room as they didn't have a double room available which was nice. The carpets in the reception, hallways and bedroom could do with being changed and smelled a bit odd. The lady at reception was... More

We booked a double room with a shared bathroom, after reading some reviews on here before my arrival, I was dreading my stay, but have really been pleasantly surprised. Rooms are very small but very clean with good bed linen which is the main thing. Aircons really good and the staff have been super friendly, chatty and helpful. My husband... More

Good hostel, we booked for a double ensuite room for 2 nights. The room was big and clean but quite basic - no TV or AC. Roadworks going on at night so was very noisy but otherwise no noise from guests. Wasnt too expensive. Key card entry so felt secure. Friendly staff. Close to supermarkets, shops and overall great location.... More
